Part of this range is the IBS 4600 Vision, a four-lane, four-blade slicer with four dedicated vision systems that boasts more "consistency, higher volumes, higher yields and better hygiene than other machines in the sector".
Middleby has focused on vision and scanning technology with its other bacon slicing systems in the Thurne portfolio. The IBS 2000 Select and the IBS 3000 Profile, are both designed to achieve supreme weight accuracy and slice consistency in retail and food service applications.
The range also includes systems for cooked and cured meat applications: Polyslicer 1000 and Polyslicer 3000. The Polyslicer 1000 can be supplied with an interleaver, variety conveyor or slacker, all of which are available as retrofits.
Although bacon and deli are a strong focus for the relaunched brand, Thume has also retained their fresh meat slicers, I-Cut 1000 and l-Cut Profile, which create shingled presentations ready for loading into packs.
"We are excited to be part of the Middleby Group now and look forward to focusing on what we do best: developing successful, innovative slicing solutions for our customers," says Peter Jongen, president of Thurne-Middleby Ltd.
